Title: Prosthetic tibial component with modular sleeve
Inventor: RUMPLE DANNY W
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2003-09-08
Granted: 2009-05-28
Abstract: A prosthetic knee system has a tibial component and a modular sleeve. The tibial component has a tibial tray, a stem and keels extending between the distal surface of the tray and the stem. The modular sleeve has an oval proximal surface with spaced reliefs. The reliefs and keels are sized, shaped and positioned to allow the modular sleeve to be mounted on the tibial component with the stem of the tibial component received in the interior channel of the sleeve and the keels of the tibial component received in the spaced reliefs of the modular sleeve, and to allow for some relative rotation between the tibial component and the sleeve. The system gives the surgeon the freedom to implant the tibial component alone, with the keels providing stability, or, in the case of bone deficiency, to implant the tibial component and sleeve as an assembly. <IMAGE>

Title: Liposomes with improved drug retention for treatment of cancer
Inventor: RAMSAY EUAN
IPC: A61K9/127
Filed: 2005-10-06
Granted: 2012-04-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of copper ions to achieve enhanced retention of a therapeutic agent within a liposome. The invention may be employed to more effectively deliver a liposomally encapsulated therapeutic agent to a target site in vitro and in vivo for anti-cancer or other therapy. The liposome may comprise an interior buffer solution containing the therapeutic agent, the solution having a pH less than 6.5 and most preferably approximating pH 3.5. At least some of the copper ions are retained within the interior solution. In a particular embodiment the therapeutic agent may be a chemotherapeutic drug, such as irinotecan. The invention may also comprise an ionophore to facilitate loading of drug into the liposome. In one particular embodiment the combination of the ionophore A23187 and encapsulated divalent copper (Cu2+) resulted in an irinotecan formulation that exhibited surprisingly improved drug retention attributes.

Title: Use of peptides for the control of radiation injury
Inventor: CARLTON RICHARD MICHAEL
IPC: A61K38/08
Filed: 2007-03-06
Granted: 2013-01-17
Abstract: The invention relates to the field of drug development against acute radiation injury caused by exposure to high-energy electromagnetic waves (X-rays, gamma rays) or particles (alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons). To date, there is no effective drug to ameliorate radiation injury after accidental exposure to ionizing irradiation. The invention provides a method of treating radiation injury of a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a peptide, or functional analogue or derivative thereof, of smaller than 30 amino acids. Furthermore, the invention provides use of a peptide, or functional analogue or derivative thereof, of smaller than 30 amino acids for the production of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a subject suffering from or believed to be suffering from radiation injury. In particular, the invention provides anti-radiation peptides having a dose reduction factor (DRF) against acute gamma irradiation of at least 1.10, said DRF determinable by testing which dose of radiation results in 50% mortality at 30 days (LD50/30) after whole body radiation (WBI) in a test group of mice treated with said peptide at 72 hours after WBI and, testing which dose of radiation results in 50% mortality at 30 days (LD50/30) after whole body radiation (WBI) in a control group of mice treated only with the vehicle of said peptide at 72 hours after WBI and wherein the DRF is calculated by dividing the LD5O/3O of the peptide-treated animals by the LD50/30 of the vehicle-treated animals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas turbine having ring-shaped inner and/or outer shells (8, 7) of an annular combustion chamber (3), the closure of the inner and/or outer shells (8, 7), and a method for repairing said closure. In order to create an annular combustion chamber (3) that can be heated without thermal distortion, expands without distortion, and can be reliably closed, opened for repairs, and permanently closed again, and that can be reconditioned, the inner and/or outer shells (8, 7) of an annular combustion chamber (3) are made of a rotationally symmetrical metal sheet. The shells are cut in a parting plane (16) for assembly, and the lower half of the inner and outer shell (8, 7) are installed into the lower half of the housing of a gas turbine. After the rotor is installed, the two upper shell halves can also be installed, and joined to the lower halves by welding. In order to improve the service life of the parting plane weld seam (21), film cooling of the weld joint is proposed, guided by an indentation. Said indentation can, for example, be implemented by welded parting plane elements (15) that are also suitable for retrofitting.

Title: EM-guided drilling relative to an existing borehole
Inventor: BITTAR MICHAEL S
IPC: E21B1/02
Filed: 2008-01-18
Granted: 2011-08-04
Abstract: Parallel drilling systems and methods suitable for drilling wells for steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). In some method embodiments, a tilted-antenna tool gathers azimuthally- sensitive electromagnetic signal measurements. Such measurements enable accurate measurement of inter-well distance and direction, thereby providing the necessary information for drilling accurately-spaced wells having reduced vulnerability to 'short-circuits' that inhibit effective reservoir exploitation. In some other method embodiments, a tilted-antenna tool transmits azimuthally non-uniform signals as it rotates. The attenuation and azimuthal variation detected by one or more receivers enables accurate direction and distance determination. The transmitter and receiver antennas can in some cases be combined into a single tool, while in other cases the transmitters and receivers are placed in separate wells to increase detection range.

Title: Method and Apparatus for Detecting and Treating Heart Failure
Inventor: SCHINDHELM KLAUS HENRY
IPC: A61B5/0205
Filed: 2009-07-23
Granted: 2014-08-14
Abstract: Devices and systems provide methods of detecting a heart failure condition of a patient that may be based on one or more respiratory parameters of a patient. In an example embodiment, a monitoring device determines one or more heart failure condition indicators based on a measure of the patient respiratory airflow and/or a measure of treatment pressure. Respiratory parameters such as respiration rate, hypopneas, apneas, Cheyne-Stokes breathing patterns or apnea-hypopnea counts may be compared to thresholds that are selected to represent a change in the condition of a heart failure patient such as an onset of a decompensation event. Results of the comparisons may trigger a pressure treatment change and/or one or more warnings or messages to notify a patient or physician of a pending change to the patient's heart failure condition so that the patient may more immediately seek medical attention to treat the heart failure condition.
